He had soul, range, power and a certain purity of tone that enabled him to sing anything he chose to. Then he could play several instruments to a high standard and write great tunes. I guess you pay a price for that kind of talent.
This song was played at my uncle's funeral. Ccr vision never new Cornell had such good taste. Haven't cried since the funeral 10 years ago. Put a candle in the window. Ain't never coming home. Happy Easter
This shit made me shed a tear listening to it. Farewell and, wherever you are, I hope it's somewhere pleasant with your friends and family. Thanks for everything.
There's something about music man it just cleans your soul.. no matter how you feel. I feel like blowing my brains out but Chris has gave me the strength to fight another day. Thank You Chris Cornell
Thanks for crediting Chris for his part in giving you strength to fight. Now that he has left us I pray the work he left behind for us with will continue to strengthen us to fight harder to stay longer. God bless you Jack, hang on!
There was nothing this legend couldn't sing and do the best version I've ever heard. Sadly gone so so soon. We will always love and miss you. I truly hope you seen the light my brother.
It's 2024! Who's listening? I think Chris did cover everybody! Rest in peace Chris! Your spirit lives on through your music! 🙏 And I would like to thank God! For showing me the light!❤❤❤
Every time I see him still playing with Buckleys phone, theres a feeling that comes over me I cannot explain..RIP Chris....not a single day has gone I dont weep....30 yrs in my life was not long enough..***tears**
YAWEH bless your soul Chris, your gift from YAWEH has touched millions. It was a godsend that I actually got to see you the day before you died. You outreached and outshined, thank you.
I miss my Pop. He grew up with Creedence, and when I asked him what two songs he would like me to play for him as he was dying, this was one of them. I wasn't able to play it for him before the end, but he has a cassette tape in the pocket of his favorite flannel shirt.
That's so beautiful...... Thank you for sharing such a touching and inspiring story... Hats off to your Pop.... ccr happens to be my favorite too so I kind of understand. Esp this song.
Just seeing this now, only Chris Cornell is worthy to sing a John fogerty tune. Unbelievable vocalist and musician. Dam i miss his person in the world. Music is Chris Cornell and he is music... RIP Mr spoonman thanks for your music...🙏🤘🦊
When you were with us your soul merged with your voice and now that you're gone your voice merges with your soul. And every time we hear the traces you left behind you carry us to that place in the everlife that you've gone to solidly on the back of your wings. We are still hurting Chris...
I don’t know exactly why entirely, I know this song meant a lot to me when I was deploying-it just hit home for me then, but listening to him sing this brought me to tears, what a talent, what a respectful guy to give credit to his elders, what a sad end to a great life we loved. Just wow
WOW, probably the most talented musician PERIOD!!! Tears have a mind of their own when I hear anything hes done!!! I don't attempt to fight it,. Greatest rock voice top ten he's easily 1,2,3,4,5.
I usually agree, but funny enough, I was at this show and Chris point-blank asked the audience to tell him what we wanted to hear, which is why people were yelling out songs. Such an incredible show!
wow, I never knew he did this. Cornell has such a wonderful voice. Great job. I love this almost as much as nothing compares to you and that is saying a lot.
It's a beautiful rendition...he got the pain in the hauntingly soulful raw blues of John Fogerty's voice.., and it's beautiful of him to acknowledge them as such.
i've been a fan for 20+ years, seen the bands he has been a part of and him solo live many times over, and yet his performances (his voice, as well as his range as an artist in general) never fail to impress! never boring! damn good cover!
Thanks for sharing your experience at the show! Obviously due to recent events, I went back and listened to Chris's covers over the years. It was suggested by true fans of his work.. .. I have to say .. this is A. A good quality recording!, and B. an amazing cover by Chris!
I was listening to this song.. The ccr version when I got the call my grandmother died in a house fire back in 1999... To this day I can not listen to their version of it.. But chris made it possible to hear an old favorite..
how did you know that he was going to play this right before? Of all the great CCR songs. Only Chris could have covered John Fogerty & sound amazing! RIP CC
@@brianrobbins762 Like a minute ago, I was thinking how if someone asked me who's the greatest rock vocalist of all time, I'd probably say that it's a tie between CC and Freddie, and I instantly thought of Steve Perry too. Great singers indeed.
Love and miss you Beautiful Keeper ♥️🌹♥️ forever in our hearts ♥️ prayers for Vicky and your children and family and fans and all who loved you. R.I.P. Chris you will always be The Beautiful Keeper to me Beautiful inside and out 🙏🏽🕊♥️🌹♥️
Put a candle in the window 'Cause I feel I've gotta move Though I'm goin', goin' I'll be comin' home soon Long as I can see the light Pack my bag and let's get moving 'Cause I'm bound to drift awhile Though I'm gone, gone You don't have to worry Long as I can see the light Guess I've got that old travelin' bone 'Cause this feeling won't leave alone But I won't, won't Be losin' my way Long as I can see the light Yeah Yeah Yeah Oh yeah Put a candle in the window 'Cause I feel I've gotta move Though I'm goin', goin' I'll be comin' home soon Long as I can see the light Long as I can see the light Long as I can see the light Long as I can see the light Long as I can see the light
this is in the original key of B - the key the track was recorded it in. Search YOU Tube and you won't anyone else going for it - even Fogerty pulls it back a full tone to A
Jessica Marie it's not all that easy for some of us to see. Depression is a matter of brain chemistry and endorphins don't flow correctly. We wake up each day unexcited and (for periods of time) almost angry at the new day for including a piece of shit like us in it's bright shining confidence. We take the pills the docs give us, but they're not (I don't wanna say "enough") always effective or a match for our brain chemistry. It gets soo hard to keep telling yourself that it's just a chemical imbalance. It gets soo hard too keep believing that you're a person like everyone else no matter who you're supposed to be or how you're supposed to be happy in your station of life. It's a fight....everyday for a lot of us. A knock down, drag out slugfest that never ends....but some of us give up and end....well I think you know now. Thanks for listening.
Jessica Marie He bathed in it and went to it he was a candle and the darkness think they sorted him out they can but he lived and is such a cool thing you tube to spark the candle in my window🖼
No, I assume you are talking about the red phone-it was given to him by the mother of Jeff Buckley, Chris' friend who died in 1997 and it uses it as a prop
One of the best vocalist of any era
He had soul, range, power and a certain purity of tone that enabled him to sing anything he chose to. Then he could play several instruments to a high standard and write great tunes. I guess you pay a price for that kind of talent.
Maybe the "greatest rock vocalist of all time'', I have a difficult time arguing against that statement when I hear it.
I disagree
This song was played at my uncle's funeral. Ccr vision never new Cornell had such good taste. Haven't cried since the funeral 10 years ago. Put a candle in the window. Ain't never coming home. Happy Easter

Thank you, he's in a very good place, very good space. 😘
It is 💙
There's something about music man it just cleans your soul.. no matter how you feel. I feel like blowing my brains out but Chris has gave me the strength to fight another day. Thank You Chris Cornell
Jack Long Veteran? Just curious.
wow jack - r u still here.......surreal!!!!
life can be a struggle - Chris left us but he left us beauty to hold onto
its been a year bro I hope your doing better life's a gift brother cherish every moment like its your last peace to you from New Zealand
Thanks for crediting Chris for his part in giving you strength to fight. Now that he has left us I pray the work he left behind for us with will continue to strengthen us to fight harder to stay longer. God bless you Jack, hang on!
Chris could sing anything
He had more talent than most of us could dream of possessing.
There was nothing this legend couldn't sing and do the best version I've ever heard. Sadly gone so so soon. We will always love and miss you. I truly hope you seen the light my brother.
He is the light🤍
A fraction of it.
xoxo

This guy is FANTASTIC. I had never heard of him and was checking out covers of this song. Thanks for opening up a new world.
I thought I'd heard literally everything this man had ever done. But this is the first time I've seen this one. Amazing! This just made my day.
beautiful...anything that man sings exudes such emotion
Jesus. No it's Chris 😘💙
Yes, yes and, yes.😘💙
Every time I see him still playing with Buckleys phone, theres a feeling that comes over me I cannot explain..RIP Chris....not a single day has gone I dont weep....30 yrs in my life was not long enough..***tears**
his voice made everything seam great wish he new that
Chris could sing anything! Im doing a Chris Cornell marathon this weekend..non stop,music for the soul
6yrs later... Run Forrest Run!
He has one of the greatest voices ever known!
YAWEH bless your soul Chris, your gift from YAWEH has touched millions. It was a godsend that I actually got to see you the day before you died. You outreached and outshined, thank you.

+kingkeefage It get's a bit easier with time take care.
bri bro
Thanks, man.
kingkeefage I'm sure him and Chris are up there right now laughing down at us. wondering what all the fuss was about.
That's so beautiful...... Thank you for sharing such a touching and inspiring story... Hats off to your Pop.... ccr happens to be my favorite too so I kind of understand. Esp this song.
man... Definitely made me tear up. 😢
Just an incredible voice. I'm so thankful I got to see him perform 3 times.
I love Chris Cornell and this song has special meaning. He is amazing live! POWERFUL
Gave me goosebumps. When I die...hopefully not any time soon, but I want this song at my funeral.
Just seeing this now, only Chris Cornell is worthy to sing a John fogerty tune. Unbelievable vocalist and musician. Dam i miss his person in the world. Music is Chris Cornell and he is music... RIP Mr spoonman thanks for your music...🙏🤘🦊
Damn, how I miss this man. Theres no week I come through TH-cam watch and listen the guy blessing us with his music. Still hurts. See u someday Chris!
I'll be coming home soon...as long as I can see the light. Rest In Peace
Chris could cover anybody but no one can cover him.
One of the most real statements ever.
The undertaker covered him! The blood of the (Lamb) may have..
Except Johnny Cash
@@celebi684 Touché
I think Brandon Boyd did pretty well
Chris Cornell at his best. How the world of music needed this man. Rip Chris.
When you were with us your soul merged with your voice and now that you're gone your voice merges with your soul. And every time we hear the traces you left behind you carry us to that place in the everlife that you've gone to solidly on the back of your wings. We are still hurting Chris...
perfect song for his voice
His voice is so similar to Fogerty. ❤️
one awesome person. rip. he sure lit up our lives.
It’s been 2+ years and I still cry when I watch/listen to him. Such a void....miss you forever.
Have u ever wanted to leave a cornell video because u wanted to listen to another cornell song but u don't want to leave because it's so Damn good
Dead Head 102 yes 😂 Especially when I’m playing him for younger people that don’t know him!
I don’t know exactly why entirely, I know this song meant a lot to me when I was deploying-it just hit home for me then, but listening to him sing this brought me to tears, what a talent, what a respectful guy to give credit to his elders, what a sad end to a great life we loved. Just wow
This is absolutely beautiful... One of my favorites songs ever, played by Chris Cornell... I'm crying a little...
Me too
WOW, probably the most talented musician PERIOD!!!
Tears have a mind of their own when I hear anything hes done!!! I don't attempt to fight it,. Greatest rock voice top ten he's easily 1,2,3,4,5.
Always loved this CCR tune. Chris, you will surely be missed.
Rest In Peace Chris! What a voice! 😢
So sad that he is gone .
Great voice, great musician, great soul.
I usually agree, but funny enough, I was at this show and Chris point-blank asked the audience to tell him what we wanted to hear, which is why people were yelling out songs. Such an incredible show!
wow, I never knew he did this. Cornell has such a wonderful voice. Great job. I love this almost as much as nothing compares to you and that is saying a lot.
No one sings like you anymore. True story. RIP CC
It's a beautiful rendition...he got the pain in the hauntingly soulful raw blues of John Fogerty's voice.., and it's beautiful of him to acknowledge them as such.
Oh man what John and Chris would have sounded like on stage together. And Chris would not have tried to outshine him in any way. great cover!
Beautiful cover. What a talent. RIP to the best singer there will EVER be.
Damn.....Chris’s voice was so powerful.
favorite song , sung by one of my favorite singers...RIP
i've been a fan for 20+ years, seen the bands he has been a part of and him solo live many times over, and yet his performances (his voice, as well as his range as an artist in general) never fail to impress! never boring!
damn good cover!
Thank you Randi for uploading this! I never had the chance to see him live so this is pure gold!
One of his best performances ever, and it never cracked 100k views.... I feel like I have a secret gem!
Just incredible voice! I'm a big fan of his acoustic guitar too. Something about it makes his voice just resonate inside of you.
love this song even more now that I've heard Chris sing it.
Thanks for sharing your experience at the show! Obviously due to recent events, I went back and listened to Chris's covers over the years. It was suggested by true fans of his work.. .. I have to say .. this is A. A good quality recording!, and B. an amazing cover by Chris!
best of all time .. so heartbroken over this ..
The most amazing human being ever!
You're a GENIUS Chris. I miss you.... so much.
Just found this. This was my dad's favorite CCR song and to hear Chris sing it touches my soul. Thanks for this.
Brilliant version Chris!!! 💗💗💗
I was listening to this song.. The ccr version when I got the call my grandmother died in a house fire back in 1999... To this day I can not listen to their version of it.. But chris made it possible to hear an old favorite..
just beautiful. RIP Chris
Greatest Rock Voice ever for me.
Great rendition. Thanks for the capture and post. Love it. D~
Chris 's Best cover !
We love you Chris. Thank You for sharing your gift with us. 😔🤘🏼
PERFECT PERSON TO COVER THIS and do it justice!!!!!!
My favorite version. God damn it's hard to watch now.
God bless, Chris. You can see the light now. RIP
This just breaks me up inside. He has no idea how much he meant to us.
Wow what great pipes
how did you know that he was going to play this right before? Of all the great CCR songs. Only Chris could have covered John Fogerty & sound amazing! RIP CC
Great version. Joe Cocker did a pretty great version, too
Probably the capo
beautiful... R.I.P...
Goosebumps....thank you for posting this 💜
What a voice. I've always said that CC has few equals
NONE!
Yea who?
Brian Robbins tough one.... Mercury maybe?
Yea mercury is real good. Not much low range though. Or Steve Perry too.

Put a candle in the window
'Cause I feel I've gotta move
Though I'm goin', goin'
I'll be comin' home soon
Long as I can see the light
Pack my bag and let's get moving
'Cause I'm bound to drift awhile
Though I'm gone, gone
You don't have to worry
Long as I can see the light
Guess I've got that old travelin' bone
'Cause this feeling won't leave alone
But I won't, won't
Be losin' my way
Long as I can see the light
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Oh yeah
Put a candle in the window
'Cause I feel I've gotta move
Though I'm goin', goin'
I'll be comin' home soon
Long as I can see the light
Long as I can see the light
Long as I can see the light
Long as I can see the light
Long as I can see the light
Lovely
I wish there was a Chris Cornell Revival
The voice more beautiful of alls times...
Miss you brother
I miss you Chris Cornell.
I always thought no way could anyone sing this song better than John fogerty. I was wrong, it fits Chris's voice beautifully
The one and only, Chris Cornell.
Tremendous.
Forever missed
Dear god, I pray that he recorded all these amazing covers in studio at some point
well that was not easy. BRAVO CHRIS!
Awesome...
this is in the original key of B - the key the track was recorded it in. Search YOU Tube and you won't anyone else going for it - even Fogerty pulls it back a full tone to A
Love u brother
I'm so sad he couldn't see the light anymore...
Me to.
He is in the LIGHT....still most of us in the dark

He was murdered lol
September 2020. And you are still missed.
Chris speelt een mooi nummer van CCR. In zijn weg en brul.
RIP Chris...
Magic!!
He's the only one except John Fogerty who deserves to song this amazing song. I doubt anyone else is worthy this.
No, I assume you are talking about the red phone-it was given to him by the mother of Jeff Buckley, Chris' friend who died in 1997 and it uses it as a prop
True heartbreak this world is not a better place now that he's gone
Put a candle in the window ❤️✨💫
Miss you forever. 💛💛
love you chris
CCR+CC= Awesome sauce
Genius
Miss this voice
rip chris
long gone …
nay thway no more suffering
WoW!
